I am very happy to hear that such an important will be named for such an instrumental woman. I did a paper on the woman in history who most inspired me for a contest in middle school on Ada Lovelace. Had I known of Rear Adm. Grace Hopper at the time I would have chosen her instead. I learned about her from my comp sci textbook and was amazed she wasn't covered in more general sources where her story would have more of an opportunity to reach young women. I am however, not happy to see the dumbing down of America's relationship with technology, the careful manipulation of language to strip meaning and understanding from the words we use. We are in the middle of a struggle, between disclosure of exploits and retaining them for tactical or strategic advantage, where information can be "shared" by a private company with a government, but under a veil of secrecy. Where we talk about defensive capabilities, but fall victim to the most basic attacks on our network infrastructure, due to a lack of coordination within government. We buy hardware with a name brand badge but an operating system with 14+ year old vulnerabilities. But at the same time endeavor to place privately owned networks under government protection for critical infrastructure protection.
